AmenTruth is it's not really about PNG or sport. It's about China and making sure we have a friendly doormat if (when?) it all goes tits up in Taiwan. Same reason we are spending money on the Drua. It's certainly not because Albanese gives a toss about the quality of Super Rugby Pacific.
All this is certainly of relevance to Rugby Union. It's the only sport that links the Pacific together (with Japan as well) and I hope we are hiring some lobbyists to emphasise the opportunity here to the mopes in Parliament House.
This is a guarantee winning the hearts and minds of the populace.
I have just returned from Fiji and was amazed at the Drua’s reach. They were on the wheetbix box, etc. it’s such a small investment for a massive geopolitical win.
